Our premium RZ Series A/V receivers deliver a significant boost to
the dynamism, detail, and accuracy of music and movie soundtracks
for a listening experience that packs deep emotional impact. The
TX-RZ820 features quality components, such
as large custom capacitors, to provide high
instantaneous current for fast transients and
wideband frequency response down to 5 Hz.
Discrete non-phase-shift amp circuits clearly
focus the audio image and cut distortion even
at floor-shaking volumes.
THX
®
Certified Select
™
Reference Sound
THX Certified Select guarantees the same high-volume sound
you experience at a commercial cinema in your home. To gain
certification, amplifiers must pass the industry’s most severe bench-
tests covering every aspect of audio performance. THX Certified
Select components are ideally suited to rooms where the screen-
to-seat viewing distance is approximately 3 meters, and the room
volume is approximately 57 cubic meters.
Unleash Dolby Atmos
®
or DTS:X
™
Home Cinema
Object-based soundtracks allow independently mixed sound to play
through any speaker in your system, moving above and around you
with breathtaking realism. The TX-RZ820 reproduces 5.2.2-channel
Dolby Atmos or DTS:X formats,
with AccuReflex correcting the
phase of direct and indirect sounds
for cohesive audio imaging with
Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers.
Upmixing Solutions for Legacy Soundtracks
DTS Neural:X
™
identifies spatial effects in multichannel soundtracks
and upmixes for 3D playback through object-audio-ready speaker
systems. Dolby Surround also upmixes legacy sound formats so you
can experience multidimensional playback of legacy sound formats in
a Dolby Atmos environment.
Music Made Easy with Chromecast built-in
*
Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop, or PC to the
TX-RZ820 with ease. Control playback with Chromecast-enabled
apps you know and love from your
iPhone, iPad, Android

mobiles and PC. Flick whatever’s
playing to the receiver, even
different sources to different
components at the same time.
